Who has a bladder that large?
Go in and order a "large".... to see their confused faces looking back is good tonic to start your day.
If you REALLY want to mire them up, go in first thing AM and try ordering the 'dark roast' instead of daily roast of the day. Usually not made yet because it costs more - and in my opinion, the one coffee they sell that may be worth a couple extra cents.
Starbucks lost its trendyness some time ago -- at best they are annoying, and only worthy of a last resort classification. There are countless other coffee houses that offer products that are so superior to the inferior coffee that you get there. The only time I'll go to one of their shops is if it's the most conveniently located. Places like Caribou have better coffee.
Thanks Starbucks for reinforcing the fat, bloated, overeating American stereotype.
Best cup of coffee is made at home or at work for free.
Want to make you limited income go farther? Try ending this kind of wasteful spending. The excuse that "I am worth it" only goes as far as deciding to make a house payment, or buy your next month's worth of Starbucks. This is only the tip of the iceburg. We need to retrain our thinking and adopt the mentality of a culture that was careful in its spending habits - like ours was at one time. Buy a can of Maxwell House on sale for $4. Make your coffee at home for pennies a cup. Put the Starbucks money in the bank!
SBUX sux when you buy it in the stores. It tastes no different than when you buy it an an airport. They make it very strong and it tastes like it's been sitting around for an hour or two, that combination keeps me from buying it. BUT, I will spend the extra $2 over MH or Folder's to buy a bag of SBUX because it IS good coffee - without the cutting agents found in the bottom-of-the-barrel 'cheap' brands. You pay less for them because guess what - you're getting less coffee. I also own my own espresso machine, so I no longer buy the other coffee drinks that people frequent sbux for. Again, buying the sbux coffee for that. I can't tell you how much money I've saved over the last 10 years doing it, and the coffee is a hell of a lot more enjoyable.
Yes, I pay about $1 more for a dozen pots of coffee than a cup in the stores. If you find fault in that even, go preach to the people who spend $300/night in a bar.
I agree Jwright. I buy high quality Zoka coffee from Seattle and make it in my French Press that takes minutes to prepare. It's not as cheap as Maxwell House but it is the best coffee ever. I go to Starbucks if I'm desperate. I think Tim Horton's has the most disgusting coffee ever though.
Let all the people who think driving a Mercedes or BMW makes them better people patronize Starbucks. I won't.
Starbucks' charred beans and astronomically marked-up milk hardly qualifies as a Mercedes or BMW. Well, maybe a BMW. I had one and it drove like a garbage scow and cost more for maintenance than my rent.
Starbucks' coffee quality is far closer to Yugo level than Mercedes level.
More like people who think giving their coffee a pretentious name makes them better people. I see more BMWs in Dunkin Donuts parking lots than in Starbucks lots.
Mercedes isn't what it used to be back in the day either. Last Consumer Reports it has like three models in the bottom of different categories. Tangential comment, I know :)
Catzenjammer - Good comment about the BMW and Mercedes fakers! I am the kind of person who got enticed with the ad campaign for a Subaru Mediocrity until I found out it was a joke. I would love a plain car and if I had land I would grown my own coffee beans before ever setting foot in a Starbucks.
Buy green beans and roast them yourself like I have for the last decade. I drink the finest coffees in the world, PROPERLY ROASTED, and pay about half of what the rest of you are paying.
Trenti? Are they kidding? Do they make this stuff up as the go along, I bet a "trenti" Frapicino costs $16 rotfl.

Starbucks should change name to BigBucks! People without any self-esteem believe that they need the logo to sustain them. its certainly not the quality.
Criticizing the price? What are your vices? Those that do attack the price of Starbucks coffee usually have 3 tubs of ice-cream or beef piled high in their shopping carts... how about a carton a day ciggy habit, or how much do you spend on alcohol? If the quality isn't superior why so many stores? Why so many fans of the product?
Sorry about your little cup o' joe. Sounds like you are having coffee envy.
The prices are outrageous for "quality coffee" such as Starbucks. I myself do think it tastes good, but not worth the price. I do much better brewing my own coffee at a way cheaper price.
I ask for a medium ... when the pretentious little snot behind the counter "corrects" me on what language to speak in my own country I head to the DD across the street. Coffee is better anyway.
Iced venti green tea with three scoops matcha, sweetener instead of syrup. Yum. I'll go for the trenti on that one. No calories, the matcha gives it a lot of catechins, in fact about 1,000 times the amount of antioxidants that are in a serving of pomegranates or blueberries. Refreshing on a hot day.
How long before we see Venti & Trenta as names on a Kindergarten roster??
Since the Starbucks drive though is convienient, I will definilty try it. What is wrong with buying and drinking what I want?
I must admit I'm a bit concerned about drinking and driving on this much caffeine. Let's be responsible out there.
Charbucks, or is it Fivebucks? - coffee has done without my business for quite some time now and that's not going to change soon.
I LOVE Starbucks. I get the tall Latte, no extra flavors or fancy milks. It's my happy place.
For Starbuck's sake, I hope this recession is only a tall one.
I will admit I used to be a Starbucks freak. Until....my drink started costing me $6-7. That's right for one drink. I order 2 extra shots of espresso which makes extra drink & noticed they were throwing the extra out. I asked for it because I paid for that product & I wanted it. I have had so many different stores argue w/me or try to charge me for the "extra cup" they are giving me. So I started taking my own "extra cup" They still argued w/me. I started making my own @ home.
I emailed Starbucks about this problem & they told me they'd send me a coupon for a free drink. I emailed them back & told them that's not what I wanted to keep it. I wanted them to have their employees stop arguing w/customers over getting all of that drink they paid almost $7 for.
Dunkin & McD's sadly taste like milkshakes to me.
I used to enjoy a Starbucks coffee once or twice a week, until I got tired of "friends" who posted comments and photos on social media sites incessantly about their addiction to the brand, and their cute little names for the company, and how they were so desperate for a venti double-blah skinny blah blah blah, etc.
I still enjoy Starbucks occasionally (like two or three times a year), but I was glad to distance myself from these people for whom a simple cup of coffee has become a pathetic status symbol...
Their stuff tastes like it is burnt, and they forgot to use a filter. No matter what you cover it with, it's just horrible! Sorry, but anyone paying $5.00+ for a cup of coffee demonstrates the saying,"There's a sucker born every minute.", and they all go to SB!

Almost always a latte - for a quick cup of regular coffee, I go wherever, and get an extra large (32oz).
